Summer reading list

At this point in my life, I know myself pretty well. I know how long it takes me to get through books. So … this list contains both books I have already started and hope to finish as well as ones I’d like to start (and not finish until next year sometime):

Daniel Keyes was teaching at Ohio University in Athens when I was a high-schooler. His daughter, Hillary, was the first girl I ever took out on a date. Imagine the dismay of a geeky, nerdy sci-fi kid going to pick up his first date, and confronting her dad. I hadn’t realized they were the same Keyes. Urp. Gotta say, the Hugo Award is cool, but the Nebula is stunningly beautiful. Just found this meme, and considering playing, but I hardly read books anymore… I’m an internet junkie.
